816878 - Remove all reopenSelf workaround in web activity caller

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 801520

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia, defect)

Description

[(inactive after 6/18) Alive Kuo [:alive]]

When working on Bug 816008, I found that many apps don't remove the workaround of reopenSelf when activity ends. This is causing problem when home key is pressed.

STR:
1. Open SMS app
2. Click new message
3. Click contact icon
4. Press home button

Expected:
1. All frames are closed, return to homescreen

Actual:
1. The sms app are reopen itself, causing a very strange UX.

Note:
This should be removed long time ago but no body did...
Patch incoming.

I feel like what you're doing is bug 801520. Let's ask David for review and you may want to move your patch there to gain bb+ and don't need approval ;)

Please re-nominate with comments if joining in with 801520 is not sufficient to resolve this.

Marking this as a dupe of 801520, reassigning that bug to Alive, copying Alive's pull request to that bug, and granting r+ over there.

Thanks Alive!

marking r+ here, too, so it disappears from my request queue. But land it as part of the other bug.
